Can I use CPU1 / CPU2 sockets to power GPU? null

Cpu and gpu 8 pin plugs don't match. You can burn parts of your computer out trying to mix them up

The CPU cable pin/power layouts are entirely different than the cable pin/power layouts for the VGA ports. There is also other things such as difference in polarity on some of the pins but the answer is No, dont use the CPU sockets to power your GPU.

No, you may not. Different voltages DO NOT DO THIS.
